Abstract: 11,136. Baird, A. H. May 10. Cabins. - Comprises improvements in portable rooms, such as ship's cabins, formed by partitions and vertical posts, and consists in forming the posts P2 of cruciform or equivalent cross-section. The vertical edges of the partitions D are bevelled so that they fit between the webs of the posts. Corner posts P1 are made of T-section. Deck and ceiling sockets K are provided, and the posts P2 are somewhat shorter than the distance between the deck and upper sockets, so that the upper ends may be inserted in the sockets and the posts then dropped into place. Lugs k2 prevent rotation of the posts in the sockets, and pins p2 afford additional security to the partitions. The angles at the corners of the rooms may be other than right-angles according to the bevelling of the partition edges.

Abstract: 18,473. Brown, P., and Bostock, F. J. Aug. 14. Milling-cutters, sharpening. - In a machine for grinding hobs, milling-cutters, &c., an abrasive wheel 8 is carried in a universal head 7 on a vertical slide 3 moved up and down on a standard 1. by means of a disk 17 and crank 14. The hob &c. is carried on a spindle 13 operatively connected with the slides through a rack and gearing so that the hob is rotated first in one direction then in the other as the grinder moves up and down the tooth face. The gearing for thus rotating the hob includes an indexing-device and means for adjusting the depth of cut of the grinder. The disk 17 is so situated as to provide a quick return of the grinder, and is driven by a pinion 19 on a foot-lever 20, which carries a brake block 26 at one end, to engage the disk 17 and stop it at the required point when the foot-lever is operated to take the pinion 19 out of mesh. The rotary movement of the cutter carrying spindle may be cut out when straight toothed cutters are being ground.

Granted: 1914-04-23
Abstract: 29,564. Cyklon Maschinenfabrik. July 3, [Convention date]. Revolving-cylinder pumps; cam-actuated pumps; stroke, varying.-The cylinder 5 of a lubricating- pump, more particulary for motor-car engines, is rotated by a projection 12 on a worm-wheel 13 and has two holes 8, 9 which act alternately for the inlet and outlet of oil from the passages 3, 4. The piston 7 is reciprocated by a sleeve 14 which engages with a ball 18 working in a cam-groove 19 in the cylinder and is prevented from rotating by feathers 25 fixed to the casing 2. The down-stroke of the piston is effected by the engagement of a cap 22 carried by the sleeve with a shoulder on the piston, while the up-stroke is effected by the engagement of a second cap 15 with a nut 17 on the piston. The cap 15 is screwed to the sleeve 14 as shown, and the stroke of the pump is varied by adjustment of the position of the cap 15 so as to give a greater or smaller amount of lost motion.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Steam and Hand Operated Steering Apparatus.
Inventor: CROLL DAVID
IPC: B63H25/18
Filed: 1914-03-26
Granted: 1914-12-24
Abstract: 7691. Croll, D. March 27, 1913, [Convention date]. Steering-gear.-In interchangeable hand and steam steering-gear, a planet-wheel is used under both conditions. The steering-wheel 1, Fig. 2, is mounted on a shaft 2 supported by a casing 3 and carries a pinion 7, a disk member 9 on a boss 5, and a member 8, neither of which can slide thereon. The member 8 carries the pulley 13 for the chain which also passes over the guide-pulley 15 slidably supported on spindles 16. The member 8 also has cam-surfaces 18, an internal rack 17, and cylindrical bearing-surface 19. The rack 17 gears with a planet-wheel 20 meshing with the pinion 7 and carried by a spindle 21 passing through the disk 9. The disk 9 has cam-surfaces 22 engaging cams or dogs 23 on a worm-wheel 24, which is freely mounted on the member 8 and is prevented from 'sliding longitudinally by the guides 25. The wheel 24 is driven by a worm 27 on the steam-engine shaft, and the steam valve is operated by the shaft 28 driven off the spindle 21. For hand operation, the gears are as shown, with the disk locked to the wheel 24 and thus to the stationary engine. A movement of the hand-wheel drives the pinion 7, planetwheel 21, internal rack 17, and thus the chaindriving member 8. For steam steering, the washer 30 is removed, the shaft 2 moved to the right, and the washer inserted in the groove 32, which is now clear of the boss 6 of the casing. In consequence, the cams 18 gear with the dogs 33 on the wheel 24, and the disk 9 is moved out of engagement therewith. A movement of the hand-wheel drives the pinion 7 and planet-wheel 20 which moves the steam valvegear, setting in motion the steam-engine, which thus drives the chain-barrel 8, and at the same time returns the valves to neutral unless the hand-wheel is continuously moved. The guidewheel 15 is dragged into alinement with the chain groove 13 in its new position.

Granted: 1915-05-13
Abstract: 12,299. Desaulles, G. May 20, 1913, [Convention date]. Rotary stirrers; moving-container apparatus. - Apparatus for the drying, humidifying, and like treatment of materials in bulk comprises a convex helicoidal surface rotating on a vertical axis within a concave co-axial helicoidal surface, the material passing from one to the other through the apparatus. As shown, a helical strip b rotates on a vertical shaft within a second spiral strip c fixed to the interior of a co-axial rotary cylinder d. The central shaft carries a worm-wheel gearing with a worm g. The end k of the shaft is screw-threaded so that the height of the shaft and consequently the distance between the two coils may be regulated. At its lower end the shaft terminates in a hollow part l formed with a funnel m and having a discharge-regulating cone w. A hopper s on the cylinder delivers into the funnel. Baffles y, z, fixed to the shaft and cylinder respectively, prevent short-circuiting of the gaseous current. Gas passes in through an annular passage D and is drawn through an outlet E by an exhaust fan. When the apparatus is used for drying, air entering by the outlet l cools the material and is itself warmed and mixes with and attemperates the gas entering from the annulus D. A jacket G prevents loss of heat. The screws may rotate in the same direction or oppositely and may be of the same or opposite hands.
